　　24. You are given:
　　(i) A Cox proportional hazards model was used to study the survival times of
　　patients with a certain disease from the time of onset to death.
　　(ii) A single covariate z was used with z = 0 for a male patient and z = 1 for a female
　　patient.
　　(iii) A sample of five patients gave the following survival times (in months):
　　Males: 10 18 25
　　Females: 15 21
　　(iv) The parameter estimate is β= 0.27.
